bug#2835: Info is missing help for some mac specific variables

The mac-xxx variables are there for legacy support. They are documented if you do Ctrl-h v, but I'm not sure it's appropriate to document them in the info manual.

Also, mac-allow-anti-aliasing appears to be an alias for ns-antialias- text, which does switch on/off antialiasing.

ns-use-qd-smoothing controls the use of the QuickDraw engine, which was also a kind of legacy support for those transitioning from Carbon emacs, which at one time used QuickDraw rendering exclusively. Since that changed long ago it is indeed probably best to remove this now -- the results don't really look good enough to justify it independently.

Would be good to standardize antialiasing control -- if all other backends use :antialias, NS should probably change to use it too, and then it should be documented globally.
